Tens of hours of copy-paste gone, in one upload
Every municipality app runs on a CMS that has to be filled with the right categories and structure. That used to be done item by item, copying and pasting by hand. We built an uploader that puts the whole set into the CMS in one go, with a dry run first so nothing ever goes live by accident.

The challenge
Every municipality app runs on a CMS that has to be filled first: the right categories, the right structure, neatly organised. That was done item by item, copying and pasting by hand from separate sources. Repetitive, error-prone and time-consuming, and every new app meant starting that work all over again.
Our approach
We built an uploader that puts the whole set into the CMS in one go. First a dry run shows exactly what will be created or added, with per-app settings so you never end up in the wrong app. A second run never produces duplicates, so you can update safely. Only once everything checks out do you push it through in one go.
- 1Read in the desired structure and categories
- 2Dry run: see what will be created or added, without writing anything
- 3Choose per-app settings, no surprises
- 4Upload to the CMS in one go
- 5Re-run safely when something is added, without duplicates
The result
What used to take tens of hours of copying and pasting now happens in a single upload. A new app structure is ready in minutes instead of an afternoon of manual work. And because you always dry-run first, nothing ever goes live by accident.
